I have GSD's and they like a soft rug but not the heat. Our front and back get a ton of sun. I always purchase Veranda or Couristan indoor/outdoor rugs. The dogs seem to like them and there is a variety of colors. I usually go with a tan. 

I also have a stand alone patio umbrella to shade part of the area when it gets really hot. This is what works for our dogs.
